Preschool Ministry

of FBC Monroe

Preschool

  Missions Statement

The mission of the preschool ministry is to teach preschoolers God’s word in a safe and pleasant environment.

“Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”    Luke 2:52

Wisdom               -           Mentally

Stature                 -           Physically

Favour with God -           Spiritually

Favour with Man -           Socially

 

Preschool Teaching

To fulfill our mission to teach our preschoolers God’s word we use learning centers. Preschoolers learn by doing.  Activity teaching offers firsthand experiences to the preschoolers.  Through activities the preschooler uses his five senses to learn.  Curiosity motivates a preschooler to search and discover.  Repetition sharpens acquired skills and develops new ones.  The doing is the child’s play, and play is the preschooler’s full time occupation. In the classroom the home living center, blocks, books, nature, music, puzzles, art and circle time are used for teaching.  We want our preschoolers to have a strong foundation to grow on.  We focus on eight major building blocks for our preschoolers:

 God                 God loves me.

Jesus                Jesus is God’s son.

Bible                The Bible is a special book.

Self                  God made me.

Family              I have a family that loves me.

Others              Other people are important to God and in my life.

Church             I come to church to learn about God.

Nature              God made the world.

 To achieve our mission to keep preschoolers in safe and pleasant environment we have a security system in place, emergency procedures established, hygiene polices to follow, and food and safety guidelines in our classrooms.
